Comments
Dr. Madigan’s equine presentation was top-notch. His research on the neonate foal, and solutions that can be used in the field, were both useful and relevant to my practice.
Dr. Madigan was impressive. His session on disasters in the field and rescue techniques for large animals provided helpful and practical information that any DVM could use if the situation demanded it. Excellent.”
